Very useful and easy way to recycle blister packs
A friend recommended Zero Waste bags to me - a great way to be able to recycle items such as pill packets, oral health products like toothpaste tubes. Small ones are easy to put in a drawer in a convenient place and use frequently. I highly recommend
Such a brilliant and easy way of recycling medication packaging. No fuss, really simple and easy to follow instructions.
Couldn't believe how many empty medicine blister packs I managed to put in the small Terracycle bag! Great idea for anyone taking regular medication.
Great to be able to recycle all my medication blister packs, I would like to recycle more but it would become quite expensive

Still collecting to use but very much believe in the whole ethos. Is there any way the cost can be reduced to encourage more people to recycle knowing exactly what happens to their collection.
It's such a great feeling to get rid of these items responsibly and know they won't end up in landfill for a thousand years! I've just ordered 2 more big bags.. I love it!
Whilst the initial cost of the bag was a dis-incentive, I feel much better now that it has been filled with blister medication packaging over a number of months and in the absence of any other alternative will lead to a recycling process.
My initial concern regarding the return of the filled bag were overcome by the straightforward help provided online and then the simplicity of the deposit arrangement to get them returned to you. I've since purchased another bag!!
Recycling with these bags is so simple. It's takes very little effort and that is what makes it so appealing. Even the posting of them when the bag is full.
Great purchase. The bag is huge and will take about 2 years worth of medication blister packs. Method of return is very straightforward. Good to know these are being recycled rather than adding to landfill.
